Kilkenny said he’s pleased voters supported his role as a “watchdog” on the city council.

“I indicated three years ago that I would scrutinize developers agreements and make sure they’re fair and balanced,” Kilkenny said. “I renewed that pledge again this year, and the voters want me to fulfill that role.”

He said as the city moves forward, it needs to do some long-range financial planning and set priorities for spending to make sure the important things are accomplished first.
